What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is prohibited from adopting names, marks, insignias, or symbols in any business that are or may be confusingly similar to the Proprietary Marks licensed under the Franchise Agreement. This restriction applies both during the term of the agreement and at any time thereafter.
This means that a Spray Net franchisee cannot use branding that could be mistaken for Spray Net's own branding in any other business venture. This is to protect Spray Net's brand identity and prevent customer confusion. The Proprietary Marks, System, Manuals, and all other information and items delivered to Franchisee by Franchisor under this Agreement or in furtherance of the System, including without limitation, signage, video and audio tapes or disks, information communicated by electronic means, and intellectual property, are the sole and exclusive property of Franchisor.
This restriction is a standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to protect their trademarks and brand recognition. Franchisees should be aware of this restriction and ensure that any other business ventures they are involved in do not infringe on Spray Net's proprietary marks. Franchisee acknowledges it acquires no rights, interests, or claims to any of said property, except for Franchisee's rights to use the same under this Agreement for the term hereof and strictly in the manner prescribed.
